How long do fresh chocolates last?

Unlike the chocolate you find in your local supermarket, fresh chocolates don’t contain artificial preservatives or palm oil to extend their shelf life.

Instead, we use the best quality sustainable cocoa, and fresh British ingredients. Organic cream replaces palm oil and wild honey replaces artificial preservatives. Our utterly delicious ingredients are what give Russell & Atwell fresh chocolates their smooth, rich taste and sublime melt-in-the-mouth texture.

Because of this, our chocolates do have a shorter shelf-life. When kept chilled in the fridge, our fresh chocolates will last about a couple of weeks, although we doubt you will keep them that long!

How to store fresh chocolates.

To retain the authentic taste of the ingredients, our fresh chocolates need to be kept chilled in the fridge and eaten within a few weeks.

For the best experience, take your chocolates out of the fridge 5-10 minutes before eating. 

How do fresh chocolates stay fresh in the post?

We often get asked how we can send our chocolates by post. The secret is the little drop of honey, which acts as a natural preservative to keep the chocolates deliciously fresh while they are on your way to you. All our packs are sent out by RM24, and should arrive within 1-2 days.

Taste the difference!

We’re confident you’ll be able to taste the difference between our fresh chocolates and regular long-life chocolate. So, isn’t it a time you gave fresh chocolates a try and started storing your chocolate in the fridge?
